libs wouldn't know anything about self censorship I'm sure 😂

This just sounds like the sort of moderation I'd expect out of most websites I've frequented in the past 20 years. I don't like using platforms that trend towards 4chan as time goes on. (Hence why I mostly stick around small, easy to moderate IRC channels and discord servers)

My guy attached a solar light to a plastic bag and calls himself an inventor. and is part of a thing called Supertruth that scrapes health data
the platform’s algorithms prioritize content aligned with state-approved narratives while suppressing more controversial viewpoints, effectively redrawing the boundaries of acceptable thought.
Go and talk about Luigi or the genocide without self-censoring on any American platform and see how that goes.
Every post, like, and comment exists in an ecosystem designed to prioritize “core socialist values” over freedom of speech.
The reason libs think they have freedom of speech is that those who don't move don't notice their chains.

Freedom of speech here is code for "freedom to turn social media into a rats nest of nazi conspiracy theory and racism."
Maybe the core socialist value of Friendship was the friends we actually made along the way
One of my favorite things about western exposure to Chinese social media is the realization that Chinese netizens aren't smarmy liberals yearning for American flags and apple pie. No they're by and large "tankies" just like us. If anything they're even more likely than us to ridicule and demean western nonsense than we are.
From my limited experience Chinese posters are more powerful than we can ever conceive and I'm all for it
They keep fucking posting walls of text that say nothing comprehensible when translated. It’s an elite troll
The importance of this moment cannot be overstated. For the first time, millions of ordinary American workers are engaging directly with their Chinese comrades, uncovering the lies fed to them by their ruling class. This awakening is a blow to the imperialist propaganda machine and a step toward proletarian solidarity across borders.
It isn't quite yet in the millions:
Within the span of two days, more than 700,000 new users have joined Xiaohongshu, Reuters reported, citing a person close to the company. CNN has reached out to Xiaohongshu for comment.

Allowing for a day since the article was published and for Americans already set up on the platform, it's probably around a mil.
You can't draw any generalized conclusions about Chinese posters from what you anecdotally see on a social media app. The platforms are developed to curate your personal feed so it's not surprising a tankie will see primarily tankie posts just as it wouldn't be surprising if a lib got the impression that the same app was entirely filled with Chinese libs yearning for apple pie.

The thing is: Douyin and Tiktok were intentionally seperated for their domestic and foreign counterparts, in their own jurisdictions.
However, xiaohongshu, as the article points out, is fully in China's hands of jurisdiction and regulations, so unless they make seperate version for foreigners, OOF, they're not getting a lot of
Chinese libs yearning for apple pie {if by that, you mean the West, for what it reps.}.
I'm not on any Chinese social media so I don't have any personal feeds that are generalized. I'm more going off memes and videos off bilibili where there will be long explanations of Marxism with a ton of people in the comments
I run on vibes
I'm saying you can't make a generalized statement like "chinese posters are X" based on what you observe on social media since the social media platforms introduce a selection bias whether you choose to cultivate it or not.
It's kinda weird how very aware everyone was of this on tiktok where we had frequent posts talking about how to cultivate it to be more specifically communist or complaining about being stuck in "niche hobby tiktok" yet on this new app everyone seems to have completely forgotten this and is celebrating that everyone is commie now because that is what they are seeing on rednote.
bro libs know and talk about the overton window constantly they cannot be saying this with a straight face
How stupid do they think people are? You can't cry free speech when the US literally just banned TikTok lmao.
the idea of losing control of the narrative terrifies these people to the core
Staying firmly within the existing boundaries of acceptable thought? 🧐
Redrawing the boundaries of acceptable thought? 😱
Redrawing the boundaries of acceptable thought
That was supposed to be what liberals say free speech is for
猫咪卷饼 kitty burrito would be my closest guess
Edit: if we were playing around too you could call it 猫饼 cat cake/biscuit which sounds like 毛病 (different tones) which means problem/fault/bug so you could make funny image macros of a purrito saying 你出了猫饼 thar plays on 'You've played/pulled out a purrito' and 'You've broken down'
Goood, goood, let the hate flow through you!!
for John Brown posting.
